A hybrid type vessel propulsion apparatus includes an engine, an electric motor, a propeller shaft that rotates together with a propeller, a first transmission path, a second transmission path, and a third transmission path. The first transmission path transmits power of the engine to the propeller shaft. The second transmission path transmits power of the electric motor to the propeller shaft without transmitting the power through the first transmission path. The third transmission path transmits a portion of the power of the engine, which has been transmitted from the first transmission path to the propeller shaft, to the electric motor in order for the electric motor to generate electricity.

Hybrid type vessel propulsion apparatus

In a rotating electrical machine apparatus, a rotor portion provided in a cylindrical portion and a stator portion provided in a recessed portion in which the rotor portion is housed are aligned along the rotation axis of a rim such that a force is generated in a direction opposite to the direction of a load that acts along the rotation axis of the rim of loads that act on the rim following rotation of a blade.

Rotating electrical machine apparatus

A vessel propulsion apparatus includes a propulsive force generator including a duct and a propeller. The duct includes a stator. The propeller includes a rim that includes a rotor disposed at a position facing the stator, and a blade on an inner side in a radial direction of the rim. The vessel propulsion apparatus further includes a steering shaft that turnably supports the duct, a motor controller that rotationally drives an electric motor including the stator and the propeller in forward and reverse rotation directions, a turning mechanism that turns the duct in a full turning angle range including a range of &#xb1;180 degrees, and a turning angle range limiter that limits a turning angle range of the turning mechanism to a reduced turning angle range narrower than the full turning angle range, and when a predetermined limitation cancellation condition is met, cancels the limitation and allows turning in a turning angle range wider than the reduced turning angle range.

Provided is a technique which, in the design of intraocular lenses, simplifies design work and makes it possible for aberration of the entire eyeball to more precisely match a target value when the designed intraocular lens is inserted into a patient's eye. This intraocular lens design method involves deriving an intraocular lens aberration target value from the aberration of the cornea and anterior chamber and a set value of the total eyeball aberration (S), and determining an intraocular lens shape such that the at least the aberration of the intraocular lens coincides with the target value (S-S). The intraocular lens aberration is set to an intraocular lens aberration for which prescribed convergent light is incident to the intraocular lens (S).
